Tip Tuesday: Getting out of the Magic Kingdom after Wishes

Ok, you've watched Spectromagic and the final firework of Wishes has just faded away. You've been at that perfect spot near the Partners statue to watch Wishes. You turn around and realize there are a few thousand people between you and the exit. What do you do?

You really have two options.

Option 1: Start walking and join the long queue to leave the park and then join the long queue to wait for your bus to your resort. Not much fun.

Option 2: Stick around for about an hour to 90 minutes. Enjoy a few rides, perhaps watch Spectromagic again (if there's a second showing), and then leave the park. You will end up getting back to your hotel room only about 30 minutes later. The best news is that nearly everyone else is in the pack leaving the park, which means they're not in line. I tried this during the very heavy spring break season and found no waits for the Haunted Mansion or Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin. I then watched Spectromagic from the hub and walked out to a very short bus line.

Give this tip a try the next time you're enjoying the nighttime shows at the Magic Kingdom. Spend those extra minutes enjoying the park instead of waiting for the bus.

Check back next week for another Tip Tuesday!
